Today's Top 5

1. Rats in the Delaware?

Lots o' moanin' and groanin' from Elites at the Delaware Reever because they ain't findin' basses like these-here caught by a buddy of Pete Gluszek's this year:

Instead they're findin':

Awwwww

Lay It Down! (Awesome riff.)

Rizzo says yo, welcome to Philly:

Then again, FLWer Anthony Gagliardi said this about the Lake Murray, SC FLW Champeenship:

> “I think that if a guy can catch 11 pounds a day, he’ll make it through to the weekend top 20 cut."

Sounds weak?

2. Ain't in Kansas no mo'.

Apparently more than a few o' the Elites is gittin' an eye-openin' 'sperience in the City of Bromance, aka Philly. Bassin' in the urban jungle is a bit scary-like for 'em.

Crazy thing is, Philly ain't that bad! 'Cept for the Phillies. But I feel for 'em….

3. The public who is against you never gets to see the other athletes do it because they are not allowed inside the locker room.

– The awesome(ly-domed) don barone to Mike Iaconelli, talkin' 'bout how he's seen pro athletes flip out all the time privately but in fishing there's no way to hide it. More:

> Frustration is the result of the lack of proper time management. Slow down.

> When I began to savor every moment, more and more moments went my way.

db be this:

Ike's a bass-head, same as you and me. Any one out there got an issue, cut a brother some slack yo!

4. …was met by some comical looks from the other anglers in the tournament, who questioned the seriousness of a teenager showing up with an old jonboat to fish the lake.

– Story of a young PA dude tryin' to git to the Elites, aka the bassin' sweepstakes. Seriously? Dudes, if a kid shows up to a derby in a dang canoe, ENCOURAGE HIM!

Can't wait til that kid rolls up in this:

5. Jumping carp to death?

> University of Minnesota scientists hope their recently installed experimental sound system will successfully deter invasive carp from swimming upstream near the Mississippi River shipping lock.

> The five-speaker system, which has been operating for about a week, is believed to be the largest underwater speaker system in the world. [5=largest??]

> The speakers produce a sound that carp hate…equivalent to that of 20 outboard motors. [what hp??]

Tip of the Day

Palaniuk: Crispy grass rules.

Yeah dude (cough, cough):

> “The types of grass lines on which bass position can change weekly, daily and sometimes hourly. Generally speaking, they’ll prefer a mixture of grass simply because it’s an irregularity. But day-in and day-out, you need to be looking for clean, crispy grass because it provides cleaner water in the area, better oxygen levels and attracts more bait.”

> “From what I’ve found, summertime bass use contour lines and depth changes as highways to move to and from shallow water. So I spend a lot of time on my Navionics card looking for little turns where the contour lines get a little closer. This means there is deeper water nearby, which allows the fish to pull up onto the grass lines to feed and slide out to deeper water when the want to relax a bit.”
